Dina surprised me with additional items to her giveaway prize pack, just because it was my birthday (which means that this entry is slightly behind time ;D). Thank you so much hun, I really appreciate your generosity and thoughtfulness ^^ And congrats on reaching so many followers!!
Gradical Eyes A is the fourth generation eyeshadow palette in Kate’s Gradical Eyes collection. It was preceded by Gradical Eyes, Gradical Eyes N and Gradical Eyes S. Gradical Eyes A has four gradational shades and a "long fix" formula cream base.
The Reflect Mirror Eyes range had beautiful colours but to me they are a disappointment due to the total lack of pigment. The shadows in Gradical Eyes A are total opposites - they have good colour payoff for such light shades! They are also creamy, smooth and they stay on my lids without creasing. Nonetheless I noticed that the textures of these powder shadows aren’t consistent - the darkest shade is drier than the rest.
All in all, this quint restored my faith in Kate, and I shall expand my collection with the BR or GY shades (preferably when they go on sale → el cheapo haha!).
This limited edition Majolica Majorca quad comes in a cardboard case. It contains four eye shadows: a translucent eye gloss with colourful sparkles, a white cream based eye base, a shimmery pale lavender nuance color and a shimmery light purple shadow color.
The white cream eye base is welcome addition as I find myself reaching for cream shadows more often these days. I enjoy using the pink and purple powder shadows, they are soft and pigmented. Regrettably, I tend to overlook the sparkly eye gloss when I reach for this quad – it doesn’t do anything.
Midnight Dream is definitely a pretty item to own, but not a must-have =]
I don’t suppose I need to add my 2 cents on Lash Expander Frame Plus. It is one of the most popular mascaras for lengthening but it is amazingly hard to remove.
According to the Canmake site, Shimmer Jelly Eyes is waterproof and therefore also sweat proof. This range is also supposed to last all day long.
02 Sugar Milk Tea is a shimmery beige. It has medium pigmentation - you can layer it easily if you think it is too sheer. It comes with a sponge tip applicator.
Nudy Gloss Rouge comes in six different shades. They are packaged in a clear tube with a brush applicator. The shade that I received from Dina, 05 Honey Latte, is a nude beige.
I fell in love with it the moment I applied it on my lips - the formula is creamy and pigmented enough to wear alone. It isn’t too sticky which is another plus. However, after a while and of course after meals, I noticed that the gloss settles into my lip lines and makes every line/crack super noticeable! Not an attractive sight at all >.<
I have reviewed some of the babies in the picture above in earlier posts. Do scroll through my August archive if you want to read them.
Thank you for staying with me till the end! ^^
